Summary

The outcome of peripheral nerve injury is related to age, level of injury, the injured nerve, the severity of injury, and the timing and the type of surgery interventions. In addition, high-level peripheral nerve injury would not full recovery, and the prognosis is determined by the nerve regeneration.

Conventional physical therapy includes electrical stimulation for denervated muscles, and soft tissue massage, joint range of motion exercises to maintain the flexibility of the affected joint, muscle or connected tissues. However, the nerve regeneration takes several months in high-level median, ulnar or radial nerve injury. Prolonged median or ulnar nerves injury may interfere intrinsic muscular function, and radial nerve injury causes drop hand. Earlier nerve regeneration or motor training is essential for the patients to return to normal life and increase their quality of life
